Natural Light Is Key

We can’t say enough about how big a part natural light plays in how your house looks and feels. If too much light comes in, your space will look washed out and faded, no matter how much thought you put into the color scheme. Too little light, and it might look drab and dim, making all your work pointless.

To make things worse, the amount of light and the angle of the sun varies as the day goes on, so there won’t be one constant level of light that makes your space look great.

Windows Will Determine Other Parts Of Your Home Fashion

You can always reposition furniture. You can change lighting (somewhat). You can even remove parts of walls when you renovate. But windows are almost always there for good, unless you’ve got a lot of time and money to spend.

The best thing to do is first decide the part you want your windows to play, and then plan your design around that. Would you prefer the large windows were the focal center of the room? Open up the space around the window and choose a window treatment with stunning, bright colors to grab attention. Maybe you’d rather the windows be an accent that helps support other things in the room? In that case, choose something like bright white Polywood shutters to lead your guests’ eyes through the space.

Whatever you prefer, start your plan with the windows, and go from there.

Windows Are The Eyes Of The Home

It might be cliche to call windows “the eyes of the home,” but that doesn’t make it any less true. No matter the time of day, the eyes of passersby are naturally going to be guided to the windows.

Use that to your advantage by installing window treatments that accentuate your windows and your home. Some great ideas for that are:
